Natori Performing Arts Center

The Natori Performing Arts Center is designed as a pavilion in the forest, integrating landscape and architecture as one. The Large Hall, seating 1350, is used mainly for music and drama performances and is equipped with a movable light reflector and stage system. The Medium Hall is a 450-seat shoebox, suitable for chamber music. The Small Hall is a flat, multi-purpose space. A fluid public lobby circles an inner courtyard and links the foyers of each hall.
